Any ideas?

Thanks so much :D
[G2 General] Robisgnarly:
same here followed instructions, no root, tried and titanium backup couldnt get root. on sprint variant. this is what i get

No matching phone found. Got SPR from ADB.

Press any key to continue . . .

Found ATT, TMO, SKT, or D802 phone!

Pushing g2_security...

18 KB/s (288 bytes in 0.015s)

*******************************************************

Now, please unplug usb, go to developer options and

disable USB debugging and re-enable it.

Once you've done that, re-plug your usb...

*******************************************************

Press any key to continue . . .

Waiting for device...

Now it's time to install su and superuser.

Please note! This will trip LG's rootchecker!

This means your phone will show ROOTED in the settings menu,

and in the LG Download mode.

If you do not want to possibly invalidate your warranty

press CTRL-C to stop this script.

You will have a rooted ADB, but no apps on the phone will be able

to access root functions.

Press any key to continue . . .

EDIT #2 found out why needed to use newest IO

Is this still an issue for you? The rooting video is rather straightforward, so I can hardly imagine that you could not get your G2 rooted.

Hiya,

great tutorial, other videos are great!!

Question: I am buying this phone in the next few days. When I click on the link in the youtube video for the ioroot file, it does not give me the zip file, instead opens on Google drive with multiple files listed. Should I download all files? I am buying a T-mo version of the phone.

Root without changing the Trip Counter?

I want to root my LG G2 only for using some apps which need root access and not for installing any ROMs on it neither any recoveries..

In the Download mode my phone says Unrooted as of now..What i am worried about is the warranty will be void after rooting..

I have seen an app on playstore Universal Unroot and suppose i unroot my phone with this app or with other methods to unroot which i have seen.

Assuming Unrooting works without any issues and my phone is unrooted. Will the check counter in the download mode change back to Unroot from Root permanently?

Will my warranty be reinstated or they can still find out the phone was rooted?

Trying to restore back to stock on ATT G2. Have everything in place but no matter what I have tried (reboots, power cycle phone) it stops at "MODEM" at 10% and never goes past it. I have let it sit for at least 15 mins at this spot.
[G2 General] Trinicki:
Just picked up the phone and I'm looking to root it.

Downloaded all of the files, drivers needed.

Turned on developer mode and enabled usb debugging.

I connect the phone to my laptop and it connects with no issues.

I then run the root batch file and receive the Press any key to continue message.

Looking for device and then daemon not running,starting now on port 5037

Daemon started successfully

At this point nothing happens.... just a blinking cursor and it remains there....been 15 minutes and its not progressing.

Thoughts?

Edit: it seems the phone initially connects as Charge phone.....however after maybe a minute the phone changes to MTP on its own.

Root process still hung up...

2edit, tried another pc and different usb cable, same problem.

I have the same build as the one in the video...no updates,etc have been added

[G2 General] Absinthena:
Thanks

Thank you - I decided I wanted to try "the whole rooting deal" with my Spring LG G2 because I am interested in tethering. I had jumped directly to the Dev forums, b/c I was worried about Sprint G2 being so different. And I quickly was overwhelmed by the lingo, acronyms, etc. Apparently I needed to just start in the General forum regardless. And your videos helped understand the steps. At this point I am on ZVA and rooted. I feel like I need to back SOMETHING up before I install a custom recovery. Every "next step" I get overly concerned about not taking proper safety steps. See too many posts of people admitting laziness and getting in a bind. :eek:
[G2 General] dgforce:
Not working? I just picked up a Verizon G2 this weekend and was going to root it, but this doesn't seem to work for me at all. Installed the driver software linked herehttps://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_nizg6yUZ0NWnp5b2U2VkxKbFE/edit but nothing happens when I startup the IOROOT10 .bat file. It just spends all of its time "looking for device" and opening up "daemon" or whatever that is. I've tried charge only mode, media mode, ethernet, camera, nothing changes and just keeps sitting at that one screen.Any ideas?

you need the IOroot24.bat check the video description

Turns out you HAVE to use the actual usb cord that came with the device. My nexus one didn't work.
[G2 General] player911:
There is no root or custom recovery on official 4.4 yet. The only way to keep root is to flash back to 4.2.2, root, and flash a prerooted official OTA 4.4.2 update through recovery. You do lose recovery though so no flashing back.

Hey guys picking up a G2 from verizon tomorrow.. couple questions on rooting it.. from what i have read kit kat is out for this device and there is no root for kit kat.. will the phone come with kitkat already installed? or will it come with an older version and i root that version then load a pre rooted kitkat stock rom ? just trying to figure out exactly what i have to do before i get it and mess it up and not able to root which would suck lol
[G2 General] Rippley05:
Kit Kat is not out for the Verizon model, probably won't be for a bit still. As far as root, I don't know. I just joined the G2 community and the phone has been out a while, it looks like most the developing going on are Kit Kat ports that are full of issues.

Can i root after update on 4.4.2?

After Kitkat update - stuck in bootloop - no download mode - no fastboot - Need help!

Hello Rootjunky,

Great stuff your Youtube-videos on various Android related topics. I especially appreciate your Tasker-series. It´s one of the channels you subscribe once and never unsubscribe again.

A few days ago, however, I tried to upgrade my LG G2, F320L (Korean variant) to Kitkat but it didn´t work out so well. Now I´m stuck in bootloop. After turning the device on, the LG-logo appears, stays for 10 seconds and disappears again (device shuts down). Then the same starts all over again. The device doesn´t get beyond the LG-logo any more.

Unfortunately I also can´t boot into download mode any more, nor is fastboot accessible - but I can get into CWM-recovery. From within CWM I can push files etc. via adb-commands.

The question is, how to unbrick from there.

I already tried to flash my stock firmware from within CWM. The installation process finished succesfully, but after reboot I´m still stuck in bootloop.

Then I tried to get back to stock using LGFlashTool in combination with the corresponding .dot-file, a method which worked fine a few months ago when I also had a bootloop. I am using the exactly same files and method as then, but now I get an error in LG FlashTool saying smthg. like: "CrossDL [ ] to [F320L]...". The reason might be that I can not do it from withing download mode, but only from within CWM.

I also tried (from within CWM) the method using Flash Tool (R&D Test Tool) in combination with the corresponding .kdz-file, but also without success.

Now I am really at the end of my latin. Would really appreciate some help. Any suggestions?
[G2 General] Tomsgt:
first off thanks for all the details. Next since you said you updated the device. I ask what do you mean by that? Did you take a ota update with cwm recovery installed? Next if you did take a update that failed then some of the update probably got applied to the system. That being said you will need to find the firmware that is based on the new ota to restore it. Or if you can still get into cwm recovery then push cm11 and gapps to the device and flash then in recovery to get the device booting again.

Hope this helps and let me know how it goes.

[G2 General] Parinibbana:
First, thanks very much for the quick reply.

Yes, that´s exactly what I did. I guess that wasn´t so wise.

You mean I should try to find the stock firmware for my device (F320L) which is based on Android 4.4.2? I couldn´t find such a thing anywhere on the web.

CM11 is out only for the international versions of the LG G2. Not for the Korean one´s (so far).

But I already tried the AONFLEX ROM (based on Kitkat) which exists for my Korean LG G2 version. The installation process finished successfully, but afterwards I was still stuck in bootloop.

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

I just realized that the AONFLEX ROM is "not" based on Kitkat. Does that make any difference?
[G2 General] Tomsgt:
If the rom contains a boot.img / kernel then you are all good. I think the problem none of the roms are working is because the stock boot.img is messed up.

sent from my Galaxy Note 3 running HyperDrive.
[G2 General] Parinibbana:
It seems that the AONFLEX ROM does have a boot.img for my device (F320L) included, which one is supposed to flash immediately after ROM installation. Without booting in between. see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2589439

Another thing I still don´t quite know is, whether after installation of a ROM, one is supposed to wipe dalvik or not.

Furthermore /sdcard/ still contains my old apps such as GoLauncherEx, KingsoftOffice, AlamClockXtreme. Is that OK? I thought that should also get wiped, no?

I ran the prompt as an administrator on my Windows 8 laptop. Do I need to hold the volume rocker down or anything of the sort?? This bloatware on the phone is painful, I have to get rid of it.

Hi guys,

last night I tried to install some custom roms on a rooted lg g2 (international/802) but with no luck..

I had problems installing recovery but did it later with AutoRec so I could restore stock but now I cant wake my phone with knock on :S

It comes to the point that I cant flash anything in this moment...I am trying but everything gets stuck at splash screen for some reason whether I have the right gapps or not or it crashes during boot with "secure image: failed" message

Any ideas?

Can't enter the "Factory hard reset" screen on LG G2 D802

On LG G2 D802 I'm not getting the "Factory hard reset" screen, although I believe I did everything correct:

The device is powered off and isn't connected to any USB cable.

I'm holding the Power + Volume Down buttons.

As soon as the LG logo appears I release and immediately re-hold the Power button.

The LG logo appears to show, and the device is continuing to boot regularly, but because I'm still holding the Power + Volume Down buttons, it won't make it to regular boot, and it'll turn off. (It's happening just as the LED is flickering and the device is about to finish booting)

[youtube]3ogBvzbPikc[/youtube]

BTW, in the video comments it seems that there are 2 more people with this issue.

One of them suggested that it might be because of the KitKat version update.

Another interesting thing is that in CyanogenMod's LG G2 information page it seems that in order to enter recovery I should hold the Power + Volume Down buttons, release and press them as soon as the LG logo appears, and then press the Power button 3 times.
